Public transportation is preferred even for commutes of long distance due to its good coverage in the region. A thing to keep in mind is that tickets can be bought only at the app Västtrafik ToGo, vending machine on the tram and from shops displaying the Västtrafik logo, such as Pressbyrån or 7-Eleven. You can’t buy tickets from drivers on buses, boats, or trams and it is difficult to pay in cash.
